What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsDeregulation of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signalling occurs in diabetes, which exacerbates injury following myocardial infarction (MI). We therefore investigated the infarct-limiting effect of chronic treatment with rapamycin (RAPA, mTOR inhibitor) in diabetic mice following myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and delineated the potential protective mechanism. METHODS AND
resultsAdult male diabetic (db/db) or wild-type (WT) (C57) mice were treated with RAPA (0.25 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneal) or vehicle (5% DMSO) for 28 days. The hearts from treated mice were subjected to global I/R in Langendorff mode. Cardiomyocytes, isolated from treated mice, were subjected to simulated ischaemia/reoxygenation (SI/RO) to assess necrosis and apoptosis. Myocardial infarct size was increased in diabetic heart following I/R as compared to WT. Likewise, enhanced necrosis and apoptosis were observed in isolated cardiomyocytes of diabetic mice following SI/RO. Treatment with RAPA reduced infarct size as well as cardiomyocyte necrosis and apoptosis of diabetes and WT mice. RAPA increased STAT3 phosphorylation and miRNA-17/20a expression in diabetic hearts. In addition, RAPA restored AKT phosphorylation (target of mTORC2) but suppressed S6 phosphorylation (target of mTORC1) following I/R injury. RAPA-induced cardioprotection against I/R injury as well as the induction of miR-17/20a and AKT phosphorylation were abolished in cardiac-specific STAT3-deficient diabetic mice, without alteration of S6 phosphorylation. The infarct-limiting effect of RAPA was obliterated in cardiac-specific miRNA-17-92-deficient diabetic mice. The post-I/R restoration of phosphorylation of STAT3 and AKT with RAPA were also abolished in miRNA-17-92-deficient diabetic mice. Additionally, RAPA suppressed the pro-apoptotic prolyl hydroxylase (Egln3/PHD3), a target of miRNA-17/20a in diabetic hearts, which was abrogated in miRNA-17-92-deficient diabetic mice.
conclusionInduction of STAT3-miRNA-17-92 signalling axis plays a critical role in attenuating MI in RAPA-treated diabetic mice. Our study indicates that chronic treatment with RAPA might be a promising pharmacological intervention for attenuating MI and improving prognosis in diabetic patients.
